This invention relates to improvements in skates, particularly ice skates, and it is the principal object of my invention to provide a skate made in one piece from a suitable blank allowing a ready attachment to and from the sole of a shoe.

Another object of my invention is the provision of an ice skate made from a single blank and having pairwise arranged flaps or wings formed integrally with said blank andbent laterally thereto, the wings of each pair pointing in opposite directions.

A further object of my invention is the provision of a skate the wings of which-are equipped with suitable slots and openings for the reception of the fastening means securely holding the skate to the sole of a shoe or boot.

A still further object of my invention is the provision of a skate provided with means readily attached to its runner to allow a walkingon the ground without danger of injuring the web.

' These and other objects and advantages of my invention will become more fully known as the description thereof proceeds and will then be specifically defined in the appended claims.

In the accompan ing drawings forming a material part of t is disclosure:

Y

Each of the flaps or wings. isprovided with a bayonet slot 19 and an opening 20 for the reception of securing screws 21 by means of which the skate is secured to the sole 22 of a shoe or boot.

If theskate'is to be used forwalking on the ground a wooden block 23 is secured-to the web or runner by means of a key 24.

In use the screws and pins on the sole of a shoe are passed through the slots and openings of thewings and are screwed home to' securely hold the skate to the sole.

If the wearer desires to walk over ground or soil without removing the skates he attaches the wooden blank 23 having a centrally extending slot or groove to the web 3:; runner of the skate by means of the key It will be understood that I have described and shown the preferred form of my device only and that I may make such changes therein as come within the scope of the appended claims without departure from my invention. 7
